There are 2 players that can afford to be OP in a (5 man) group, and TRY to go all out:

The healer & the tank.

They can go hog wild and be as uber as they want.

If any of the DPS “outclasses” EITHER of those players, people end up dead. (usually the uber dude/ette)

We 4-manned H Gundrak last night. Most of us were in the “just sorta barely into raiding ” gear. We had a Disc priest(ess) that was better geared than any of the rest, and she died a fair number of times (and went for a ride on the Rhino’s horn a few times as well rofl)

BUT, she was aware WHY it happened, but just lost track of aggro a few times. No blame, just a shrug and a laugh.

(I also died to bad aggro management once, as well as slow reflexes/HP inattention as well on 2 other occasions *blush*)

A-freaking-men to this. If I may vent for a moment: One of the things I hate most while I’m tanking is when a dpser unloads everything they have before I have even thought about starting the pull. And then the mobs go straight for them. And then they die. And then they blame me. And then the spend the next 5 pulls complain about how I can’t hold aggro and that they can’t do their ‘phat deeps’ because I’m a bad tank. And then I tank-rage a little and the aneurysm growing behind my left eye gets a little bigger, while I wish them slow painful deaths.
